His sister came to Hogwarts with Albus' and Rose's siblings, and the trio was a menace. Scorpius grind his teeth and tried to unstick himself from the wall he currently was stuck to. Albus, bound by his feet to the ceiling, seems peaceful, but his snores in soft blue gave his fainting away.
Rose's eyes scrutinized them, and he sort of wanted to plead for help. His pride didn't let him, trying to squirm away. His pride, however, was quickly dying.
"Do I want to ask how that happened?", she asked, caustic gold, and Scorpius would have shrugged if not bound. Her hair was currently wild and green, which was unusual. That was new, but he had decided that mentioning it would probably make him stay bound longer. "No, wait, let me guess. Lily, Hugo, Persie?"
"Correct. Could you please let us go? I fear that Al might be getting too much blood in his head.", his red was pale, almost pink, and Rose grinned, as if she could see the colour too. "Please don't let Al fall - sorry, you just did let him fall on his head."
"It's not like he is going to lose anything important,", she shrugged, moving near him, and Scorpius bit back a laugh.
Albus was laying on the floor, still fast asleep, and Rose unbounded him more carefully, letting him fall on his feet, near Albus' head, picking Scorpius by the hand, her touch lingering one second more than what was appropriate. He curiously touched Albus' head with his feet, and when Albus groaned, Scorpius nodded to Rose, who sighed.
"Was it Persie?", he asked, deciding to send a letter to his parents, to try and see if that could be, perhaps, curbed a little. Rose shook her head, casually reviving Albus.
"Lily, actually. I thought I had closed my trunk well, but she somehow put dye on my shampoo.", Albus rose up with another groan, and Rose lightly punched his arm. "C'mon, sleepyhead, we're late for Divination."
He had picked Divination out of curiosity, really, and even if his parents had found that a bit weird, Scorpius made sure to show them he still had picked too Arithmancy and Runes. Was it his fault he just wanted a class with both his friends? Scorpius didn't think so.
"I'm going, calm down,", Albus muttered, throwing himself between the two, arms around their shoulders, and Scorpius ignored the blush on his face. He could definitely process that at a later date, but right now, Scorpius just wanted to enjoy that weird, foreign feeling.
